CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A violent summer in Hampton Roads is no surprise to police chiefs like Chesapeake’s Kelvin Wright, who says summer gun violence is a phenomenon all departments are aware of. 
A deeper look at gun and crime data puts the summer crime into context.
"These are the months we know it takes place, but we don’t necessarily know why it takes place," said Chief Wright. "That is extremely frustrating and as officers, we have a difficult time making sense of it."
